There’s a natural law out there operating in the universe…

Either you discipline yourself or sooner or later something or someone else will.

Better for you to take charge of your own discipline, than to leave it up to outside forces.

Either you assign your own discomfort right now and continue to do so, or you will have to deal with the unknown consequences later; it’s better to deliberately choose your own path and your own consequences.

Think of it this way—hard now, easier later vs. easy now, harder later.

Plus, there’s no denying another law out there ruling over the natural order…

Nothing truly worthwhile is ever going to be easy.

If you want to accomplish anything at all in this life and make anything at all out of yourself, it’s going to take some discipline. There is just no way around it.

Let us discuss the three pillars necessary to live a life of discipline.
Self-Denial
The first step—learn to deny yourself.

It’s one thing to know what to do. But it’s certainly another, NOT to do something; especially when that something revolves around pleasure or bad habits.

Want to lose some weight? Simple. Stop eating all the time. Deny yourself.

Want to save some money? Simple. Stop spending it all. Deny yourself.

Want to quit acting like as ass? Simple. Stop drinking. Deny yourself.

These are 3 perfect examples of behavior that will slow you down. Behavior that will sabotage all your good intentions and positive actions. One step forward and one or two steps backward is no strategy for success.

If you’re stuck in neutral or find yourself headed in the wrong direction you had better consider the concept of self-denial in these areas and more. Consider it a new way of life.

Introduce the idea to your mind that from now on you’re going to deny yourself. And begin to take pride in this new reality. Be willing to do what most won’t and consider it an indicator that you’re on the way to distinguishing yourself.

Most people today are soft, and they will not deny themselves. But you will learn to do so. Because you are not most people anymore. Or are you?

Think about it. What kind of person always must have what they want? This is childish and weak behavior. And you should realize this. Get angry at yourself for succumbing to it. Get angry for being weak. This is righteous anger. It is justified anger. Use it.

The only way you’re going to harden your character and toughen up is to start by denying yourself. Quit partaking in those things which are making you weaker and taking you off track.

So, here is the Panzer QuickStart method to self-denial…

Just because you worked hard all week doesn’t mean you should be nursing a beer and stuffing your face all weekend while watching Netflix or athletes compete for glory. If anything, your leisure time should be put to use forging and tempering your principles, interests and character.

So perhaps this is a good place to start—the weekends, when you’re most likely to let down, yet are away from the daily pressures of work. Deny yourself in food, money, alcohol and television. Then find something better to do.

And then as you develop some momentum on your weekends it just won’t feel right to backslide during the week. Next thing you know, suddenly you’re as hard as cold steel when it comes to self-denial.

So, clear a path for glory then.

And deny yourself.

Right Action
You’ve leveled up and you’ve cleared a path. Good.

Now is the time to start moving forward. It’s time to start taking action.

Most of the time,
